Payroll Deduction

Note: If you have requested your tuition fee payment by payroll deduction in previous years, you may not need to continue this practice as the new funding model will ensure that the minimum funding commitment will cover your tuition. Please read the "Who Might Want To Consider Payroll Deduction" section to find out more.

If the above does not apply to your situation, and you are still interested in signing up, you may still do so by completing the online form below.

Deadline to Request Payroll Deduction

Request your tuition fee payment by payroll deduction through our online system. Full-time graduate students receiving an assistantship (TA, GA, RA) over the Fall 2018 and Winter 2019 terms may complete an on–line request for tuition fee payment by payroll deduction before September 10, 2018. After the fall deadline, students may apply for Payroll Deduction for the Fall term.

For International Students: Due to the varied tuition rates for international students, payroll deduction for international students will be available at one set payment rate. International students who sign up for payroll deduction should be aware that signing up for payroll deduction will not reduce the entire tuition debt, however, it will provide you with the opportunity to make regular payments, while receiving interest relief.

For All Students:

If you are the recipient of a scholarship, that money will be applied to your student account, and will further reduce your debt.

We encourage you to check your student account regularly, so you are aware of your outstanding tuition fees.

Students are responsible to ensure they have paid the full balance of their fees by the end of the academic term.

Please note that students with a debt of more than $1,000 at the end of the academic term will be blocked from enrolling in future terms until the debt is brought down to below $1,000 or a debt repayment agreement is in place.
